Decoration made by fitting pieces of wood into a surface (5)

I believe the answer is:

inlay

(Other definitions for inlay that I've seen before include "Inserted decoration" , "Embed" , "Decoration of a surface by inserting wood, stone or metal" , "CD booklet" , "Filling shaped to fit a tooth cavity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
